“Craig DiLouie’s PARANOIA was an exhilarating romp through the shadowy corridors of power where subterfuge, secrecy, and an insatiable desire to rule the world all contribute to create a state of psychological disequilibrium. The tension and suspense in this book was so engrossing that I finished it in two sittings, and by the final page I felt as if I had became at-one with the main characters.”
—Victor Thorn, Editor, BABEL Magazine
“PARANOIA is a book I can recommend to those who like off-beat, on-the-edge adventure. It’s rough, it’s scary…a real page turner…PARANOIA made me paranoid.”
—PINE BLUFF (Arkansas) Commercial
“The minute I read the publicity blurb for PARANOIA, I knew I had to read it. Anytime somebody name drops the Illuminati, assassinations, and paranoid schizophrenia in one breath, I can’t resist. This has, at times, led me to some really unfortunate reads. Fortunately, PARANOIA is not one of those. A solidly-crafted suspense thriller, complete with enough info for a Conspiracy 101 syllabus, the book is a taut mind-bender.”

“Craig DiLouie’s page-turner … will cause even the most hardened skeptic to stop and consider who is really pulling the controlling strings of the world.”
—Jim Marrs, Author of RULE BY SECRECY, CROSSFIRE, ALIEN AGENDA and PSI SPIES
“Craig DiLouie’s 2001 novel is … a reflection on mind manipulation and memetic mechanisms, paranoid schizophrenia, and power abuse. Oh, and the book is a damn good read, too … Conspiracy theories, priests with guns, the Illuminati … mind viruses, biologic viruses, and much much more: Craig Dilouie’s witty novel PARANOIA has it all.”

“This novel is a witty and intelligent meditation on the role of conspiracy thinking in modern America. It works as both a smart thriller and a thought-provoking primer in matters conspiratorial. It brings together All You Ever Needed to Know About Conspiracy Theories, and manages the difficult balancing act of both taking popular paranoia seriously, and being skeptical about that everyday skepticism.”
